Chicken with New Potatoes
SERVES 2 // READY IN 20 MINS // 520 CALS
INGREDIENTS
1 lemon
1 heaped tsp garlic paste
2 tbsp olive oil
250g (2 fillets) diced chicken breast
350g (12oz) Jersey Royal new potatoes
80g (3oz) frozen peas
80g (3oz) baby spinach leaves
20g (1/2 oz) parmesan, finely grated
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Wash the lemon in hot soapy water to remove the wax.Â
Zest the lemon (with a zester or small side of the grater) and then juice the lemon. Place the juice and zest in a bowl with the garlic and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper.
Stir in the diced chicken and leave to marinate for at least 10 mins.
STEP 2
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with a pinch of salt. Add the new potatoes and cook on a rolling boil for 10-12 mins, until al dente. Add the peas for the final 6 mins. Drain and set aside.
STEP 3
Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan on a med-high heat.
When hot, add the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade for later.
Cook the chicken for 10 mins, turning after 5, so that they are golden brown and cooked through.
STEP 4
Add the cooked potatoes and peas, stir-fry for 2 mins.
Turn the heat to low, add the remains of the marinade and stir through until bubbling.Â
Add the spinach a handful at a time, stir until wilted.
STEP 5
Divide the mixture between two bowls and sprinkle over the parmesan.
